Temple of Apollo at Delphi

The Temple of Apollo was a Hellenic pagan temple in Delphi, Phokis, Greece which was built in the 8th century BC to commemorate the Greek god Apollo; it was destroyed and rebuilt six times over the course of history. The temple was one of the most significant and important temples of Apollo in Greece, and it served as the seat of the Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi. The temple was destroyed in 375 BC by an earthquake, but it was rebuilt in 320 BC. In 390 AD, the Roman emperor Theodosius I silenced the Oracle by destroying the temple and most of its statues and works of art in the name of Christianity, with zealous Christians attempting to remove all traces of paganism. However, its remains are still visible today.
